im pretty you just got called out and are walking it back now. thats fine. there are lots of ways of handling typing in javascript. i could be reading more into you answers than is there, but your apparent proud ignorance is, i think, fairly deserving of a little bit of public shaming.

No, there are not.

you deserve more public shaming than him. Sure he hates javascript and has valid reasons to do so. You, on the other hand are so insecure (probably because you've spent years using this language), that you have to make personal attacks.

well i can tell this is turning into the bad kind of internet commenting. you are calling me insecure- thats a personal attack. is it wrong to call someone a snob for being snobby?

I'm not a snob. I grew up on a small farm. I can milk the cows and have moved a few tons of grass by hand because the barn was to small for machinery.

I still strongly dislike javascript.

Maybe you could respect our right to hate or at least strongly dislike a language that

1. Is being forced upon us as the coolest thing since I don't know what

2. has quite complicated and IMO dumb ideas about equality like

2.1. http://dorey.github.io/JavaScript-Equality-Table/

2.2. https://stackoverflow.com/a/359509

3. Feels like it changes major parts of one of the build systems every second week

ok i dont think snob has anything to do with upbringing, but yes- i dont really care for the tons of articles about new dumb frameworks etc, that would only be more annoying if i didnt use js. you are also allowed hate js. just kind of weird to parade around the internet proudly proclaiming it (not you, op)

The difference is the others are hating on a technology, not a person. You are insulting a person.

He didn't insult javascript developers or people who like it he simply said he doesn't like it, which for some reason got you personally insulted.

Hate is a word used in the modern world pejoratively to mean strongly dislike especially I've noticed those with English as a second language.
